The disengagement theory believes that growing old isn’t a nice, cheerful experience and that inevitably we end up alone. The theory was formulated by Cumming and Henry in the 1960s who defined how the relationship between older individuals and other members of society onto older individuals decrease in quality. The Activity theory theorizes that when individuals engage and interact with their environment are all things that elderly individuals can be positive to their life and can be a positive sense of self, i.e. retiring may not be so harmful if the person actively maintains other roles, such as familial roles, recreational roles, and volunteer & community roles. They believe individuals should be encouraged to remain active & develop own-age friends. The first major theory I am going to be evaluating is the activity theory (Havighurst & Colleagues, 1963) and how they are used in provisions provided by the health and social care setting of a care home. Most care homes provide many provisions to residents staying there to promote the activity theory. They include activities such as bingo, day outings, memory games etc. All of these active provisions are good for residents as they keep them engaged and stimulated. In 1966 Bromley wrote that activity theory in elderly people is when they need to stay mentally and physically active in order to limit the risk to get illness and feel older. As people get older there nerve cells in the brain get weaker and that can cause memory loss. To promote intellectual and social development care homes use activities and provisions such as board games (scrabble) group discussion and quizzes and dance movement from music, of which all prevent this disease. These activities provide mental stimulation for elderly people who may not use their mental ability in day to day life. The outcome can give individuals self-worth and a sense of accomplishment whilst partaking in these tasks. In group discussions for example it gives a chance...

...Activity theory
The activity theory was written in 1996 by Bromley who argued that older people need to stay mentally and socially active in order to reduce the risks of disengagement. Bromley said: There are not enough facilities provided for elderly people. They need to be more educated to make use of themselves and encourage their apathetic attitudes and permanent habits. Most care homes provide many provisions to residents staying there to help promote activity theory.
For example The home care is a way of providing care and support to older and vulnerable people in order to help them live independently in their own homes for as long as possible. This support can help deal with personal care for example washing and dressing, helping to prepare meals, prompting medication, shopping and also helping with domestic chores. If the elderly person is living on their own they can seek help from professionals in the health and social sector about any problems that they are facing at home. these professionals are fully trained to provide the best healthcare service for the old and vulnerable ad try to create a positive atmosphere in order to make them feel at home and comfortable with each other.
They include games such as bingo, day outings, memory games etc. All of these active provisions...

Explain twotheories of ageingSocial disengagement theory
This theory was originally proposed by Henry Williams and Elaine Cumming in 1961. According to this theory, as people age they disengage from society. This could be because older people would have restricted opportunities to connect with others. Social disengagement is a natural part of ageing where older people experience a reduction in social contact. The potential causes of disengagement could be:
Ill health, this could be the loss of hearing as they wouldn’t be able to hear other people, the lack of mobility as they wouldn’t be able to go to places as easy. These make interaction with other people more difficult.
Geographic mobility, many people move and retire to areas away from friends and family. Also family members move away for employment or a better lifestyle.
Retirement, retirement from work means that they will have less contact with colleagues in a social setting as they aren’t seeing colleagues on a day to day basis.
Ill health of family and friends, if friends and family have poor mobility or another disability they may have reduced social contact as they may not be able to see them often.
Travel and technology, some older people do not have access to a car, the internet, or a mobile phone, this may limit...
